Coachella may have come and gone, but it was just the kick-start to a super hot and stylish music festival season. I’ve teamed up with the style team at ASOS to bring you a couple of outfit boards to inspire your style as you dance in the desert to your favorite bands. Lightweight dresses for enduring the heat, practical shoes, a cross-body purse or backpack, and sunnies are must have items.

Music festivals usually last the entire weekend, so you’ll need to pack a few outfits. I’m loving this tribal inspired look – the mix of colors and patterns are too fun at these “anything goes” outdoor festivals.

Forever 21 has decided to design for their own brand, the Exclusive Design collection, and I’m pretty excited about what I see so far. The pieces, now available exclusively at Forever 21 stores and Forever21.com, include spring inspired bold brights anchored by black, white and blue basics. Check out Forever 21′s Exclusive Design collection and let me know what you think of their introductory pieces.

In case you missed our “fashionable dates” calendar yesterday, there are two fun events worth noting today. Zara opens its online doors to U.S. shoppers (beyond exciting) and the Jennifer Lopez collection drops in stores at Kohl’s today, and online at Kohls.com on September 11th.

It’s about time! Zara is finally opening it’s online doors to US shoppers and I couldn’t be more excited! The affordable fashion retailer is a fav amongst trend setting fashionistas including Kate Middleton and Taylor Swift. Zara has been out of reach for a lot of shoppers that don’t have a store near them, so at least there will be an online option starting September 7th. Mark your calendars and set a reminder because this is a date you won’t want to miss!

The JewelMint Mumbai bracelet sold out before I became a member, but wow did it’s memory live on. The petition to bring back the oxidized silver disc bracelet by JewelMint fans couldn’t be ignored, so “it’s back” for a limited time and it’s almost sold out already! I got one quickly and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail (yes, I have been known to stalk my mailbox for JewelMint pieces lol)! New to JewelMint? Click here for an invitation or check out my JewelMint review.

From Kate Bosworth, “This bracelet has such a cool tribal feel and is a great stand alone piece. I love wearing it with denim and a chunky grey sweater or in the summer with floral prints.”

Update:JewelMint just launched their much anticipated “Bring It Back” mid-month selections. “Bring It Back” pieces are popular sold out items from past month collections that fans voted to be re-released. The pieces, shown above, are in addition to the amazing June selection.

From WorkChic.com, “Wearing conservative attire can be daunting and boring day after day. Thus, there is Casual Friday to enjoy a day of dressing in more casual and comfortable styles. It’s perhaps the best day to let your personal style shine through even more. Keep in mind though, casual attire does NOT mean donning a sloppy outfit (unless you are working in a completely relaxed environment where your appearance is of no concern).”

Check out Work Chic’s blog for outfits from several of their favorite bloggers that can easily work as casual Friday outfits. They also take requests, or if you have a favorite work look you would like to share, they’d love to hear from you.
